Nancy W Tonucci

I have practiced law for more than 30 years. The majority of my practice involves representation of conserved persons. Whenever one of my clients has a complex special needs trust issue, without hesitation, I hire Attorney Tonucci. Furthermore, in addition to retaining her services for my clients, I ...regularly make referrals to her. She is highly ethical, diligent, and extremely competent. She breaks down difficult legal issues into their component parts. She is welcoming, compassionate and still finds time to give back to the legal community by mentoring up and coming attorneys. I recommend her without reservation.

I filed for a conservator for my aunt with the City of East Hartford. Tonucci was chosen. The conservator system seems to be set up to find the filing party as the enemy but no mind to this at present, albeit it a huge issue. I have concern that since Tonucci promised a budget but has not delivere...d it, did a shoddy job with an inventory (did not list items of worth specifically), does not communicate as promised, her designated nurse does not follow-up, and overall Tonucci seems to have an ego the size of Fenway Park. I now live in California but find Tonucci's behavior on these matters appalling. As one executive in the social justice system in Connecticut said, the Connecticut system is set up for graft. A financial report to the court once a year leaves plenty of room for graft. Recently, Tonucci issued a $5400 check to a funeral home because she thought it "was time." My aunt is in good health, sans dementia. She has sufficient worth for many years. Tonucci gave the funeral home a blank contract of $5400. This is bad business. I have worked with many lawyers through corporate transactions, lawsuits and initial public offerings. I have never met a lawyer as misguided as Tonucci.
